E3 09: Free Realms reaches two million players photo

A few days ago, Sony Online Entertainment announced free-to-play MMO, Free Realms, reached a player base of over two million unique users. According to the press release, the vast majority of the game’s player base is spectacularly young. A whopping 75 percent is composed of kids under the age of 17.

Free Realms
was available to play at E3 even though it launched April 28 this year.

Below in the gallery are some screenshots for the game released specifically for the industry event. If you look, you’ll get a sense of what the game is about. SOE pitches it as a family friendly MMO that players can do anything in -- be it kart driver, wizard, or prostitute ninja. Sounds fun, right?

Free Realms, by the way, is slated for release on the PlayStation 3 within the next few months.

Well it looks lame but being free and all I think I'll try it on the PS3 when it coes out.

I just remembered that the devs of Aion are giving away beta keys, so I'll be too busy to bother with Free Realms.
